Rare earth element | Neodymium (Nd)

With the birth of praseodymium element, neodymium element also emerged. The arrival of neodymium element has activated the rare earth field, played an important role in the rare earth field, and controlled the rare earth market.

Neodymium has become a hot topic in the market for many years due to its unique position in the rare earth field. The largest user of metallic neodymium is neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material. The emergence of neodymium iron boron permanent magnets has injected new vitality and vitality into the field of rare earth high-tech. Neodymium iron boron magnets have a high magnetic energy product and are known as the contemporary "king of permanent magnets". They are widely used in industries such as electronics and machinery due to their excellent performance. The successful development of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer marks that the various magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B magnets in China have entered the world-class level.

Neodymium is also used in non-ferrous metal materials. Adding 1.5% to 2.5% neodymium to magnesium or aluminum alloys can improve their high-temperature performance, airtightness, and corrosion resistance, making them widely used as aerospace materials. In addition, neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet generates short wave laser beams, which are widely used in industry for welding and cutting thin materials with a thickness of less than 10mm. In medical treatment, neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser is used instead of scalpel to remove surgery or disinfect wounds. Neodymium is also used for coloring glass and ceramic materials and as an additive in rubber products. With the development of science and technology, as well as the expansion and extension of the field of rare earth technology, neodymium will have broader utilization space
